Windows 7 64-bit running on Toshiba 5-year-old laptop, Core I3-350M
processor, 4 GB of RAM, RealTech built-in sound card.
Window-Eyes 9.2, Eloquence TTS for Window-Eyes, Windows Live Mail 2012, IE
11, Firefox 40.02, Office 2010, Windows Security Essentials.
Typically 1.5 to 2 GB of RAM is in use. Sometimes WLM or IE 11 will become
busy and I use ctrl-Alt-W to reboot Window-Eyes.
If you can't get ctrl-Alt-W to work from inside a program, try doing it from
the desktop. If that doesn't work, avoid clobbering your system by doing a
no-feedback shutdown: Windows key, Tab twice, right arrow once, R for
Restart.
Try the same websites with NVDA.
I get plenty of use out of my Window-Eyes investment, and these crashes are
not very frequent. I think that for both IE 11 and Firefox, Flash is
becoming a big problem for stability. And web sites are far more complicated
than they were 10 or 15 years ago, with lots of things ggoing on behind your
back. But you have a fighting chance if you keep your screen reader up to
date and don't run an antivirus program that hobbles your system. Keep those
toolbars at bay, too.

Subject: Re: WE 9.2 and IE 11
If you call their Tech Support, they won't say that 9.1 or 9.2 has been
a Step backwards, but what they do not say, often tells the story they
can not say over the phone. After all, management might be listening,
and heaven forbid someone tell the truth about a product.
Although, I am still wondering what the differences are between those
systems that are said to run 9.2 without a stitch of problems, and the
systems those of us who can barely get a session on the Web finished
without speech dropping out, or the system freezing up.
I asked this question to those who had those systems that were having no
issues, but did not get a single reply. So I'll ask my question to
those of us who are having major issues with 9.X.
To those who are finding 9.2, or 9.1 locking up, or Speech Dropping out,
or requiring a restart of WE, or a hard Re Boot, does your computer have
a Dedicated Sound card in the system?
Meaning, the Sound chips you are using, are on a Card that is plugged
into the Mother Board, rather than are built into the Mother board from
the Mother board manufacturer.
This system I use, has no dedecated Sound card, but is using the built
in Graphics as well as the built in Sound features that were part of the
Mother board.
How about the rest of you, if you can write an Email without having the
system freeze.
